  Celebrate the charm of mid-century Australiana with this beautifully framed and padded textile artwork.

  Featuring vibrant illustrations of native birds perched amongst poinsettia and flowering gum, the fabric also includes a printed map of Queensland, giving it both decorative and historic appeal.

  During the 1960s–70s, it became a popular trend across Australia to frame souvenir tea towels and textiles as artworks. This example goes a step further – the textile has been padded, giving the birds and flora a three-dimensional effect that makes them pop from the surface. This sculptural detail adds depth, character, and rarity.

  The colours are striking - teal, turquoise, crimson, and ivory - set against a natural linen-toned background. Housed in a simple timber frame, it exudes vintage character while suiting both retro-inspired and contemporary interiors.

  The reverse of the frame is inscribed with “Made by George Bourchier, Nambour” - a lovely piece of provenance that ties this artwork to the Sunshine Coast.
